February 18, 20169 yr Hey, I just stared a new game in Pillars of Eternity 3.0. Of course I have noticed that there is a new title screen. Sadly the animation that plays whenever you start a new game doesn't fit with it at all with the new background. Can we please have an option to use the pre-3.0 title screen again? Best, ShadowOwl
February 20, 20169 yr Hey ShadowOwl, That would be an great idea but unfortunately there will be no option to set the title screen to the old version. Thanks for the feedback! Obsidian Discord || Grounded Discord
June 26, 20169 yr That's too bad because this new title screen does not suite the original game at all. It would suite the White March Expansion, but not the original game. If the purpose of imposing this menu was to entice people to buy the expansion then it backfired (with me at least). The original menu and overall presentation of the game was one of the main I was interested in playing it, but now that this bland snowy field is the first thing I see when I start the game, I have lost interest in playing it. Which means I probably wont finish the game and therefore wont want to purchase the expansion. Great marketing!
June 26, 20169 yr Oh, interesting, i thought the image belongs to the expansion and not to the patch. If one would know the storage location of this image … More modding for PoE II | How to Work with Stringtables
March 25, 20178 yr I would love to have White March installed, but have the original PoE main screen. The WM main screen is sweet and all but has too much Icewind Dale vibe. It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...
May 12, 20178 yr I'd cast my vote for the original PoE title screen also. It better reflects the majority of the game and having to look at a snow-covered landscape on every launch gives me unnecessary chills.

I won't buy PoE 2 if I can't find a way to restore the original title screen either edit: also i am un-recommending it in steam Edited February 23, 20187 yr by migelo
March 25, 20187 yr Bring the old main menu screen pls!! After all, I will not belive that it is something difficult to do, yet it would make a huge difference for me and many other players. So if you care about you fans as you claim to do, please make it posible for us. :D
March 30, 20187 yr Everyone here is speaking the truth. There are serious continuity issues with the present title screen and the original game.
March 31, 20187 yr Just a simple option though it means so much to us, your beloved players. Make the dream come true please!
April 19, 20187 yr I'll add my support to this too (not that it'll ever get done at this point though)Mod, perhaps?
April 19, 20187 yr I actually went as far as to remove the White March DLC's just so I could have the old screen back LOL.... Instead of doing that though, it just removed a bunch of my saves....so I re-installed, naturally. I also searched nexus for an alternative main menu mod. Don't know why I care so much, but..well, I think I do know why. The cover kinda isn't as 'pretty' and as immersive as it used to be... Edited April 19, 20187 yr by Tanjaxxx
May 3, 20187 yr Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it like a few hour job for a programer to implement such option?
May 23, 20187 yr Ok, I've found a location of this new mainmenu graphic. It's in sharedassets12.assets file and it's called "mainMenu_bg_PX2.png". Sadly there is an animation as well on main menu (snowflakes, steam etc) which I don't know how to get rid of. That's all I can do for now. EDIT: Ok, I did it. KOTOR style Instructions: 1. Open resources.assets with Unity Assets Bundle Extractor. 2. Find those textures: mainMenu_bg_PX2 - image background from White March fx_blobs01 - snow flakes fx_smoke_plume_burst_02 - smoke which looks weird without snowy background (you need to edit some texture settings with it as well, mine looks like this:) 3. replace those textures with some transparent one. 4. Save files, and replace original ones. You can also replace background image to PoE1 Background if you like. Enjoy Edited May 24, 20187 yr by peters86
